Raw Union Updates:Ooooooo lalalalaalaaaaa – ‘tis less than three weeks now until the Raw Union festival and our wedding on June 21st, Summer Solstice ;O We are EXCITED...The festival is expanding so much that we are happily now accepting more volunteers again into the team. Applications are open again on the Volunteers part of the RawUnion site HERE.As I mentioned before, we’d really LOVE to know in advance how many to cater for at the ‘all–you–can–eat’ raw food wedding buffet, so if you intend to be there and haven’t already bought your festie tickets, please help us solidify numbers by getting your tickets now. The festie ticket prices are also due to rise on June 10th (from $65 for the weekend for adults to $85), so there’s an extra reason to get your plans set now ;) You can get tickets HERE.We look forward to seeing all of you there who are able to join us :)

...and if you’re in the UK/Europe and hankering for a yummy raw festie experience this summer, may I suggest hopping on over to play with the lovely people at this year’s Funky Raw/Space of Love gatherings?This year the crew will be doubling up the love with TWO summer events: firstly a raw retreat from July 3rd–10th, then a festival from August 14th–17th – FUN :)The retreat will comprise of a week of tranquility and workshops such as building benders and making didgereedoos – nice ;). There will be lots of healing time in nature, yoga classes, acoustic music, drumming by the fire, massage and possibly a sweat lodge too...The weekend festie in August will be an action–packed celebration of raw, healing lifestyles, with talks, workshops, classes, food demos, trance dance, live music, wild food walks, yoga and a sauna – lol ;) These people wanna see you SWEAT ;)Both events are held in the lush Sussex countryside in Southern England. For full details and to purchase tickets see www.spaceoflove.co.uk – enjoy :)

I would love to introduce you, if I may, to the wonderful world of Ms. Michelle Sabathne...if you are not yet familiar with this wonderful raw goddess, I strongly recommend jumping over to her ’Becoming Younger’ blog HERE.If Michelle’s name already sounds familiar to you, that might be because she was the editor for both of Mr. Monarch’s books, or because she hosted a ‘Juice Feasting’ series of conference calls with me after my 92-day Feast, or because she’s been on The Raw Food World TV show a few times already, or because she is one of the phone angels at The Raw Food World...she is a woman of MANY talents ;)Michelle has been 100% raw for many years and has a raw–markable story of recovery from her ‘death–bed’ with raw foods, guided by Spirit.Like Mr. M, madame Sabathne is also very inspired by the writings of Dr. Norman Walker and a couple of months ago she started her wonderful ‘Becoming Younger’ blog, in which she documents her daily food intake, relating it to Walker’s recommendations, plus shares her beautiful life insights, journey, feelings and experiences.Michelle will also be holding a workshop on relationships at the Raw Union Festival, plus helping lead the women’s sacred song circle on the Saturday evening – she is a wonderful singer with a rich background in women’s singing groups – love it :)Michelle is one of the most heart–centred, loving, clear, generous people I’ve met, with an infectious laugh, a beautiful smile and a passionate love for life...she’s a true goddess and I thoroughly recommend checking out her insightful musings...you can even sign up on her site to receive her blogs by email whenever she posts smthg new – see BecomingYounger.blogspot.com and ENJOY :)

About Me

I experienced recovery from morbid obesity with a raw food lifestyle. I have been eating raw since May 2002 and have lost around 160lbs (approx. 12 stone) in that time. My life has completely transformed on every level and I now devote my life to spreading this message of hope for natural and healthy weight loss for others living with overweight, obesity and overeating issues. My website, http://www.rawreform.com has been providing raw guidance for others since 2004.
